ITINERARY
DAY 1
Fly at c. 9.30 a.m. from London Heathrow to Munich—an afternoon walk passes through the core of the historic city—see the vast Gothic cathedral, the pioneering Baroque Church of the Theatines and the 19th-century city hall.
DAY 2
The morning is spent in the Residenz, rambling palace of the Wittelsbach dynasty, Dukes, Electors and Kings of Bavaria, with sumptuous interiors of the highest art-historical importance from Renaissance to Romantic and a marvellous Rococo theatre—the Königsplatz is a fine assembly of Neo-Classical architecture including the Glyptothek, a museum of Greek and Roman sculpture—the Lenbachhaus has an outstanding collection of German Expressionist paintings.
DAY 3
By coach along some of the principal streets and boulevards of the city to see architecture of the 19th and 20th centuries—disembark in the vicinity of the principal art galleries and choose to visit one, two or three: the Alte Pinakothek, one of the world’s greatest collections of Old Masters; the Neue Pinakothek, paintings from the 18th to the early 20th centuries; and the Pinakothek der Moderne, which opened in 2002—leave mid-afternoon and either return to the hotel or visit the Art Nouveau Villa Stuck.
DAY 4
On the edge of Munich, Nymphenburg is one of the finest palace complexes of the 17th and 18th centuries, with main palace, park, gardens and pavilions—the delightful Amalienburg represents the apogee of secular Rococo interiors, and the carriage museum has sleighs made for King Ludwig II—returning to the centre of Munich, visit the little Baroque church of St John Nepomuk created by the Asam brothers.
DAY 5
Free morning for revisiting museums, seeing others (the Bavarian National Museum has excellent collections of sculpture and decorative arts) or shopping—fly from Munich to London Heathrow arriving at c. 4.30 p.m.
